Physics Questions

Fog is tiny water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the air at or near the Earth's surface. Hence, fog is an example of a colloidal system liquid dispersed in gas.

A standing wave also known as a stationary wave, is a wave in which its peaks or any other point on the wave do not move spatially.

This phenomenon can occur because the medium is moving in the opposite direction to the wave, or it can arise in a stationary medium as a result of interference between two waves traveling in opposite directions. The most common cause of standing waves is the phenomenon of resonance, in which standing waves occur inside a resonator due to interference between waves reflected back and forth at the resonator's resonant frequency.

Hence, standing wave occurs when a wave reflects upon itself.

As there is no medium inside the bell jar, sound cannot travel

PWC refers to Personal Water Crafts.

To control steering on a PWC, the most needed requirement is to have power in which will allows the one using it to control the engine for it to stop or for it to move. Without power, the person using it could be out of balance or fail to start the engine. This is the basic requirement because even though it is shut off or the engine is off, the PWC is still on and it could still move without proper knowledge of the engine.

The azimuth originates at true North i.e, the azimuth originates from the north point. It is a measure of how far an object forms the observer's north point.

Azimuth is a technical mapping term which is used to describe the direction of an angle between north and south on a compass circle through which the circle line passes. It is the most common military method to express direction. When using an azimuth, the point from which the azimuth originates is the center of an imaginary circle.

The atmospheric pressure at the surface of the Earth is due to gravitational pull of the earth and is about 14.7 psi.

That means that the weight of a column of air which has a cross section of 1 square inch and which stretches from the surface of the Earth to space is 14.7 pounds. 

False. The ankle is not the third-class lever in the body.

Levers are typically labeled as first class, second class, or third class. All three types are found in the body, but most levers in the human body are third class.

First-class levers in the human body are rare and have the axis (fulcrum) located between the weight (resistance) and the force. One example is the joint between the head and the first vertebra.

In a second-class lever, the weight (resistance) is located between the axis (fulcrum) and the force. An example of a second-class lever in the human body is found in the lower leg when someone stands on tiptoes

In a third-class lever, the most common in the human body, force is applied between the resistance (weight) and the axis (fulcrum). There are numerous third-class levers in the human body; one example can be illustrated in the elbow joint.
